KSNF D.3

Station Profile

Nexstar acquired KSNF, an NBC affiliate, in January 1998. Since acquisition, new station management has consistently delivered the top revenue share and invigorated the station’s long standing commitment to local news and weather. In 2002, KSNF began providing non-programming services to Mission Broadcasting station KODE, the ABC affiliate located in Joplin. As a result, both stations achieved significant operating efficiencies. In October of 2004, the stations entered into a Joint Sales Agreement, which will improve the marketing of both stations’ advertising inventory. KSNF’s syndicated programming includes Deal or no Deal, Rachael Ray, Friends, and Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader. The station serves its viewers with both analog and digital signals.
